Kenosha Innovation Neighborhood - From Vacancy to Vitality

On this episode of The Take on Commercial Real Estate, we’re talking about a project that’s redefining what redevelopment can mean for a community. The Kenosha Innovation Neighborhood is more than just new buildings—it’s about rebuilding trust, creating opportunity, and shaping spaces that tell a new story for an entire city.

Our guest, Kelly Armstrong, President of the Kenosha Innovation Neighborhood, shares how this bold vision came to life, the lessons learned along the way, and why “innovation” isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the foundation for lasting change.

We’ll dig into what it takes to bring stakeholders together, keep momentum through long timelines, and challenge the typical redevelopment playbook. Whether you’re in commercial real estate, community development, or just curious about how places transform, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
